Liber Genesis

Genesis, chapter 16, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 16 Vulgate

   1 Sarai autem uxor Abram non genuerat ei liberos; sed habens ancillam Aegyptiam nomine Agar,
   2 dixit marito suo: "Ecce conclusit me Dominus, ne parerem; ingredere ad ancillam meam, si forte saltem ex illa suscipiam filios" Cumque ille acquiesceret deprecanti,
   3 tulit Agar Aegyptiam ancillam suam post annos decem quam habitare coeperant in terra Chanaan, et dedit eam viro suo uxorem.
   4 Qui ingressus est ad eam. At illa concepisse se videns despexit dominam suam.
   5 Dixitque Sarai ad Abram: "Inique agis contra me; ego dedi ancillam meam in sinum tuum, quae videns quod conceperit, despectui me habet. Iudicet Dominus inter me et te"
   6 Cui respondens Abram: "Ecce, ait, ancilla tua in manu tua est; utere ea, ut libet" Affligente igitur eam Sarai, aufugit ab ea.
   7 Cumque invenisset illam angelus Domini iuxta fontem aquae in deserto, ad fontem in via Sur,
   8 dixit: "Agar, ancilla Sarai, unde venis et quo vadis?" Quae respondit: "A facie Sarai dominae meae ego fugio"
   9 Dixitque ei angelus Domini: "Revertere ad dominam tuam et humiliare sub manibus ipsius"
   10 Et dixit ei angelus Domini: "Multiplicans multiplicabo semen tuum, et non numerabitur prae multitudine"
   11 Et dixit ei angelus Domini: "Ecce, concepisti et paries filium vocabisque nomen eius Ismael, eo quod audierit Dominus afflictionem tuam.
   12 Hic erit homo onagro similis; manus eius contra omnes, et manus omnium contra eum; et e regione universorum fratrum suorum figet tabernacula"
   13 Vocavit autem nomen Domini, qui loquebatur ad eam: "Tu Deus, qui vidisti me" Dixit enim: "Profecto hic vidi posteriora videntis me"
   14 Propterea appellatur puteus ille Lahairoi (id est Viventis et Videntis me); ipse est inter Cades et Barad.
   15 Peperitque Agar Abrae filium; qui vocavit nomen filii sui, quem pepererat Agar, Ismael.
   16 Octoginta et sex annorum erat Abram, quando peperit ei Agar Ismaelem.

King James Version

   1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
   2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
   3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
   4 ¶ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
   5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
   6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
   7 ¶ And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
   8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
   9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
   10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
   11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
   12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
   13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
   14 Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
   15 ¶ And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
   16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
